Watcher
Watchers[note 1] are a race of supremely intelligent humanoids from T-37X,[1] who are responsible for observing and recording events across the universe. After achieving a virtual utopia on their home planet, free of disease and war, the Watchers decided to share their vast knowledge with others in the universe. By absorbing "cosmic anti-matter isotopes," they attained the ability to transform into pure energy and travel through space at will at almost lightspeed. An envoy of Watchers led by Ikor traveled to Prosilicus, where they offered the native Prosilicans the wonders of nuclear power, expecting them to use it as an advanced energy source. Insteaad, the Prosilicans used it to wage war on each other, virtually wiping out their entire race. When the Watchers learned of this, they collectively took a vow to only observe and log the events of the universe.[2]
Uatu is the Watcher responsible for observing Earth's system.
